Sounds of Silence

I came back from the far east and got buried by email and meetings. Plus my stupid HP laptop is still stupid - now the both the built in wireless and the PCMCIA card slot are not working correctly so I can't get on wireless. Amazing how quickly the ability

Final Day of My Far East Trip

I said yesterday that the Metropolis session had gone very well. Got the score back - 7.71/9 speaker satisfaction and 7.83/9 content satisfaction. Not bad, esp. given that it was a translated session. Today, I presented Data in SOA, and I thought it well

Quick Architecture Takes

It's been quiet around here as I'm prepping for my next trip abroad. TechEd Malaysia and Bejing are next week and I'm presenting at both, plus I'm stopping over in Tokyo to meet with the local field architects. Should be pretty cool. I did TechEd Malaysia

Presenting Software Factories

I presented Software Factories for the first time today and I think I did a pretty good job. We had some architects were in town from a new managed SI partner and they wanted to discuss modeling. They are (were?) an IBM partner, so they're a big WebSphere
